18eabe2347 ARM: dma-mapping: introduce the idea of buffer ownership
The DMA API has the notion of buffer ownership; make it explicit in the
ARM implementation of this API.  This gives us a set of hooks to allow
us to deal with CPU cache issues arising from non-cache coherent DMA.

e296264977 OMAP: DSS2: Check ctx loss count only when starting the first clock
When OMAP PM layer is no-op/debug, the PM layer will increment context
loss count with every call. This resulted DSS2 to restore context
whenever a clock was enabled.

This commit checks the context loss count only when the context actually
could have been lost, ie. when enabling a clock when no clocks had been
previously enabled.

dd8079d6a9 OMAP: DSS2: DSI: configure all DSI VCs
Instead of configuring only VC0 to be usable, configure all four VCs
similarly. This is needed to utilize the other VCs.

Setting the FIFO sizes evenly for all VCs, regardless of how many VCs are
actually used, is not optimal. However, this affects only cases when
larger amounts of data are written or read via L4, meaning that normal use
cases are not affected.

At some point this could be optimized better to suit different use cases.

2f18c4d898 OMAP: DSS2: improve DSS clk src selection
dss_select_clk_source() was rather confusing. Selecting the source with
enums is much clearer.

The clk source selection is also stored into memory, so that we know what
is the selected source, even when clocks are off. This is important during
setup, as we need to what clocks to turn on before the clocks are turned
on.

47b5d028fd ALSA: Echoaudio - Add suspend support #2
This patch adds rearranges parts of the initialization code and adds
suspend and resume callbacks.

This patch adds suspend and resume callbacks.
It also rearranges parts of the initialization code so it can be

also have to load default settings) and the resume callback (where

Move the controls init code outside the init_hw() function because is must
not be called during resume.

This patch moves the code that initializes the card's controls with
default valued from the init_hw() function into a separated
set_mixer_defaults() function (one for each of the 16 supported
cards). This change is necessary because during resume we must
resurrect the hardware without losing the previous
settings. set_mixer_defaults() must be called only once when the
module is loaded.

4f8ada444c ALSA: Echoaudio - Add firmware cache #2
This patch implements a simple cache for the firmware files when CONFIG_PM is defined.

This patch changes get_firmware(), free_firmware() and adds
free_firmware_cache(). The first two functions implement a very
simple cache and the latter is used to actually release all the stored
firmwares when the module is unloaded. 
When CONFIG_PM is not enabled those functions act as before, that is
free_firmware() releases the firmware immediately and
free_firmware_cache() does nothing.

4b505db9c4 sh64: fix tracing of signals.
This follows the parisc change to ensure that tracehook_signal_handler()
is aware of when we are single-stepping in order to ptrace_notify()
appropriately. While this was implemented for 32-bit SH, sh64 neglected
to make use of TIF_SINGLESTEP when it was folded in with the 32-bit code,
resulting in ptrace_notify() never being called.

As sh64 uses all of the other abstractions already, this simply plugs in
the thread flag in the appropriate enable/disable paths and fixes up the
tracehook notification accordingly. With this in place, sh64 is brought
in line with what 32-bit is already doing.

The thing is that we deliver FORK events to the child process'

fork).

Solve this twice, change the event state filter to exclude only
disabled (STATE_OFF) or worse, and deliver FORK events to the

7f51a100bb firewire: ohci: retransmit isochronous transmit packets on cycle loss
In isochronous transmit DMA descriptors, link the skip address pointer
back to the descriptor itself.  When a cycle is lost, the controller
will send the packet in the next cycle, instead of terminating the
entire DMA program.

There are two reasons for this:

* This behaviour is compatible with the old IEEE1394 stack.  Old
  applications would not expect the DMA program to stop in this case.

* Since the OHCI driver does not report any uncompleted packets, the
  context would stop silently; clients would not have any chance to
  detect and handle this error without a watchdog timer.

Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>

Pieter Palmers notes:

"The reason I added this retry behavior to the old stack is because some
cards now and then fail to send a packet (e.g. the o2micro card in my
dell laptop).  I couldn't figure out why exactly this happens, my best
guess is that the card cannot fetch the payload data on time.  This
happens much more frequently when sending large packets, which leads me
to suspect that there are some contention issues with the DMA that fills
the transmit FIFO.

In the old stack it was a pretty critical issue as it resulted in a
freeze of the userspace application.

The omission of a packet doesn't necessarily have to be an issue.  E.g.
in IEC61883 streams the DBC field can be used to detect discontinuities
in the stream.  So as long as the other side doesn't bail when no
[packet] is present in a cycle, there is not really a problem.

I'm not convinced though that retrying is the proper solution, but it is
simple and effective for what it had to do.  And I think there are no
reasons not to do it this way.  Userspace can still detect this by
checking the cycle the descriptor was sent in."

a9bb18f36c tracing/kprobes: Fix probe parsing
Trying to add a probe like:

  echo p:myprobe 0x10000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

will fail since the wrong pointer is passed to strict_strtoul
when trying to convert the address to an unsigned long.

0d1622d7f5 x86-64, rwsem: Avoid store forwarding hazard in __downgrade_write
The Intel Architecture Optimization Reference Manual states that a short
load that follows a long store to the same object will suffer a store
forwading penalty, particularly if the two accesses use different addresses.
Trivially, a long load that follows a short store will also suffer a penalty.

__downgrade_write() in rwsem incurs both penalties:  the increment operation
will not be able to reuse a recently-loaded rwsem value, and its result will
not be reused by any recently-following rwsem operation.

A comment in the code states that this is because 64-bit immediates are
special and expensive; but while they are slightly special (only a single
instruction allows them), they aren't expensive: a test shows that two loops,
one loading a 32-bit immediate and one loading a 64-bit immediate, both take
1.5 cycles per iteration.

Fix this by changing __downgrade_write to use the same add instruction on
i386 and on x86_64, so that it uses the same operand size as all the other
rwsem functions.
